Welcome to Gaia! ::

Apollo knew that technically, the first move had been made, but in his mind, a first blow was a hit. This only disabled him. So he stood stock still, calm, waiting for Endymion to get to him. He could see slight movements, but it was like a flash of hair or a swing of the arm, more like seeing the movement rather than Endymion himself. And even like this, it was a second behind Endymion's actual movement. Even if he wanted to move now, he was slightly screwed.

Apollo yelps and nearly jumps, but keeps still so that he wouldn't fall with his feet tied to the ground. A smirk spread over his lips along with the blush on his cheeks and he says a slight apology to the earth as he burned the vines off his body.
He knew that Endymion was in the earth and had no clue how to strike him like this. He finally brings about a torrential rain, quickly flooding the earth and making the soil swell with water, "Come out, come out, whereever you are..."

Apollo takes in a soft gasp, willing himself quiet. He should have known that Endymion would use this against him in a fight but he didn't know if this would help him in a fight with Athena. Biting his lip, he tries to ignore his filling arousal pressing at the front of his pants and focuses on what to do.
It only took a few seconds for all of this to happen, though and soon. Suddenly cold shot through the air, not visible, but all the same freezing Endymion's feet and gluing him to the equally frozen earth. The wetness of the mud helped him. He grins across at the young god and begins to walk towards him, slow but utterly purposeful. Suddenly there was pressure. Hard squeezing pressure coming from every angle and surrounding Endymion's body.

Apollo finally closes the distance between then and now stood less than a foot away, close but not intimate. He didn't touch Endymion, but just gazes at him, interested and not letting up either of these controls over Endymion. It wouldn't be beneficial to attack Endymion now, it would be senseless violence, so he just stands there, "Come on, Endymion, if this were a real fight I would win right now. You have to get yourself out of situations like these."

Apollo stumbles back in surprise, being close enough that the flames and lava caught at him, catching fire to his pants and legs. He drenches himself with water, but his pants were now burned up to the knee and his exposed flesh was raw with deep burns.
He rolls his eyes, as if an injury like this was just a nuisance and stares up at Endymion. He vanishes, flying up at the boy and pushing him before Endymion could react. Then he appeared, only inches away, his eyes boring into Endymion's by surprise and paralyzing him mentally. everything went black except for Apolo there and he grins, "If the god or goddess you fight ever becomes invisible, keep your eyes closed."

Apollo smiles a little, warm-heartedly. he release his hold on Endymion at the same time that he suddenly puts heavy pressure on Endymion and sends the young god crashing to the earth. Apollo still hovers above, looking almost innocent as he gazed down at Endymion.

Apollo couldn't see Endymion, but he could sense him there. All the same, he wanted to give Endymion a chance to retaliate, knowing that something amazing would probably leave the young god's body in his angry counter-attack. He sinks to the ground, just outside the cloud of steam, waiting.
